Effect of health management strategy during rearing on grower-finisher pig performance and selected indicators of immune system stimulation

2001-06-01

Abstract excerpt

The effects of health management strategy during rearing on subsequent growth performance and indicators of immune system stimulation in grower-finisher (G-F) pigs were evaluated. Pigs of approximately 25 kg body weight (BW) were sourced from three different management systems: (1) a farrow-to-finish unit with identified respiratory problems (Conventional), (2) segregated early weaned (SEW; piglets sourced from mu...
